MISCELLANY. 



From the Dublin ■ 

 SUMMER RECOLLECTIONS. 



'Tis sweet — 'lis sweel — the summer dream 

 That haunts us in ou.' winter hours ; 



The miirmur'd music of a stream. 

 The voice of birds — the breath ol Sou 

 the warm breeze that lightly leaves 



The waters, and the whispering leaves. 



There is a dream, more sadly sweet, 

 When summer years of youth return ; 



And hearts, that we no more may meet, 

 As fondly beat, as truly burn, 



\ in! eyes weep back to us awhile, 



The sadness of their parting smile. 



It comes, like music heard at night, 

 Like dew upon the drooping flowers, 



Like morn's first dawning to their sight 

 Who darkly dwell ill icy bowers, 



To him who long hath felt depart 



The light of hope, and bloom of heart. 



Not yet — not yet — the summer bloom 

 Of iny young heart had died away : 



There is a twilight in the gloom, 

 A lingering smile — a farewell ray 



A hope of rapture, kindling yet, 



A halo from the sun that's set ! 



FEMALE EDUCATION. 



Let your first care be to give your little girls n 

 good physical education. Let their early years be 

 jiassed, if possible, in the country, gathering flow- 

 ers in the fields, and partaking of ail the free ex- 

 ercises in which they delight. When they grow 

 older, do not condemn them to sit eight listless 

 hours of the day over their books, their work, their 

 maps, and their music. Be assured that half the 

 number of hours passed in real attention to well 

 ordered studies, will make them more accomplish- 

 ed and more agreeable companions than those 

 commonly are who have been most elaborately 

 finished, in the modern acceptation of the term. — 

 The systems by which young ladies are taught to 

 move their limbs according to the rules of art, to 

 come into a room with studied diffidence, and to 

 step into a carriage with measured action and pre- 

 meditated grace, are only calculated to keep the 

 degrading idea perpetually present, that they are 

 preparing for the great market of the world. Re- 

 al elegance of demeanor springs from the mind; 

 fashionable schools do but teach its imitations, 

 whilst their rules forbid to be ingenuous. Philos- 

 ophers never conceived the idea of so perfect n 

 vacuum as is found to exist in the minds of young 

 women supposed to have finished their education 

 m such establishments. If they marry husbands 

 as uniformed as themselves, they fall into habits 

 of insignificance without much pain ; if they mar- 

 ry persons more accomplished, they can retain no 

 hold of their affections. Hence many matrimoni- 

 al miseries, in the midst of which the wife finds it 

 a consolation to be always complaining of her 

 health and ruined nerves. In the education of 

 youjjLg women we would say — let them be secur- 

 ed from all the trappings and manacles of such a 

 systom ; let them partake of every active exercise 

 not absolutely unfeminine, and trust to their being 

 able to get into or out of a carriage with a light 

 and graceful step, which no drilling can accom- 

 plish. Let them rise early and retire early to rest, 

 and trust that their beauty will not need to be 



coined into artificial smiles in order to secure a 

 welcome, whatever room they' enter. Let them 

 ride, walk, run, dance, in the open air. Encour- 

 age the merry and innocent diversions in which 

 the young delight : let them, under proper guid- 

 ance, explore every hill and valley: let them plant 

 and cultivate t!i- garden, and make hay when the 

 summer sun shines, ami surmount all dread of a 

 shower of rain or the boisterous wind ; and above 

 all, let thetn take no medicine except when the 

 doctor orders it. The demons of hysteria and 

 melancholy might hover over a group of young 

 ladies so brought up ; but they would not find one 

 of tli in upon whom they could exercise any pow- 

 er. — Foreign Quarterly Review. 



EXCELLENT IN A CLERG13IAS, BUT BAD 

 IN A HORSE. 



The Rev. Mr. S. some years since pastor of the 

 Church at Manomet Ponds, had while resident 

 there, a young horse, which, from his frequent 

 flank and oblique movements, and sudden side 

 springs, from his proper course, in medias ns, was 

 not exactly suited to the wishes of his owner. In 

 some correspondence upon a sale of the animal, 

 with the Rev. Dr. A. the latter made inquiry as to 

 the " moral, character " of the horse. In reply, 

 Mr. S. after summing up the various characteris- 

 tics " wherein he was worthy " thus concluded ; 

 " I must confess, however, that he has one trait, 

 which, although very excellent in a clergyman, is 

 very bad in a horse ; he avoids even the. appear- 

 ance of evil." 



FAT AND IE AN. 



An Irishman who had a pig in bis possession, 

 was observed to adopt the constant practice of fil- 

 ling it to repletion one day, and starving it the next. 

 On being asked his reason fir doing so, he replied, 

 ' Och ! sure and isn't it that I like bacon with a 

 strake o'fat and a strake o'lean, equally after t'other. 



Tom Lout was once troubled with the fever and 

 a^ne. A friend asked his physician how he was. 

 H> said that the fever still hung by Tom, but the 

 ague had left him, because he was too lazy to shake. 



Making vse of a Friend. ' I've broken your rot- 

 ten wheel-barrow usin on't, you'll please to get it 

 mended right off, I'll want to borrow it agin this 

 artcrtioon.' 



'Friend, it shall be repaired and sent to thee.' 



A NOTABLE VISITER. 



Among the visiters to Forrest's exhibition on 

 the Colton hill, the other day, was Mrs. Butler, the 

 venerable matron, and who completed her 105th 

 year in June last. She expresses herself highly 

 delighted with Mr. Forrest's kindness and atten- 

 tion, he having beau'd her to the foot of the hill, 

 and invited her back with her young daughter, 

 who is only 80 years of age, an invitation which 

 the old woman readily promised to accept. — Edin-

 Boylston, about 4 miles from this village, with six 

 pears which weigh six pounds and a half. The 

 largest of them measures 5 inches in length, and
